May 12-13, 2007
East St. Paul, MB
EAST ST. PAUL, MB – The Manitoba season-opener on the Boston Pizza-presented Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour (MJT) was held at The Meadows Golf Course in East St. Paul on May 12th and 13th - a double qualifier for two major international events. Players from all over Manitoba and parts of Ontario competed for spots on MJT Team Canada to the Scotland Kingdom of Fife Junior Team Matches in the U.K., and on MJT Team Canada to the International Junior Golf Invitational (IJGI) in Cuernavaca, Mexico.
The weather was beautiful with some wind, which dried out and hardened the greens, making playing tough when combined with some tricky pin placements.
This, however, did not deter four-year MJT veteran Matt Loewen, 18, of Winkler, MB, who fired rounds of 73-73 (146) to win the Boys 17 and up division as well as low overall score and a spot on MJT Team Canada. Runner-up in this division was Tristan Schneider, 18, of La Salle, MB, who shot 71-78 (149). There was a three-way tie for third place at 153 total score between John Moon, 18, of Winnipeg (79-74), Tyler Friesen, 19, of Kane, MB (77-76), and Peter Moon, 17, of Winnipeg (74-79).
